Introduction
Synopsis
Surely, you know what adrenaline is. It’s a hormone that provides you a boost in energy when you are confronted with a situation that needs vigorous physical action like when you brace yourself for a fight or flight.
The energy produced in situations such as these are often greater than normal times.
Plyometrics on other hand is known as jump training, which means that the whole fitness program is based on jumping exercises that induce your body to secrete just the right amount of adrenaline.
Another important use of adrenaline is it jumpstarts the fat burning process because, of course, energy is produced from this process.
The Basics
Some of jump exercises that help increase adrenaline production are the box jump, explosive squats and double leg butt kicks.
You do not actually need a box for the box jump, stairs will do just fine. The exercise involves jumping from the lower to the next rung. You jump to the higher rung from a squatting position and immediately after landing; you get off it and repeat the movements 8 times.
The explosive squat is not difficult. You start from a regular squatting position with your feet a foot (hip width) apart. With your knees slightly bent, back straight, and butt pushed out, jump the highest you are capable of while straightening your arms upwards, repeat immediately when you land.
To do the double leg butt kicks you contract your muscles then jump high and while you are up in the air touch your butts with your heels. This is done in two sets with 8 reps.
